Here goes, Howie Long, this guy is not only a champion, all pro, HOF, and down right character, he has two sons of three working in the league. You have to see the bloodline for what it is! Pure talent! Not a Raider, but Howie is the guy! Love mean Joe as well. Howie is the pick

You should break it up into two time periods. Many of us haven’t seen Deacon Jones play, I’ve never heard of Forrest Gregg, and its not fair to Vince Wilfork that Jonathan Ogden gets mentioned. Waah boo.

Too many including Mean Joe Greene and Deacon Jones, but for my era it’s Howie Long without a doubt. Remember the NFL Films special “Crunch Course”? It was almost a Howie Long highlight film. Of course, the game played in that film barely resembles what we watch on Sundays now.

Most of your “prime number” lists have included current players. I understand this list is excellent, but to exclude Vince Wilfork from this list when you put stiffs like Cameron Jordan on the list for his number makes this whole process a farce.

The great Vince Lomabardi says he is the finest player he ever coached as well as making the all 75 anniversary team by the NFL and Forrest Greg is last? That’s why this poll is totally worthless with no history given and a majority of voters who don’t remember a game before 2000.

The Steelers had almost their whole team voted in as Hall of Famers. That’s why Terry Bradshaw is one of the most overrated QBs of all time. He’s like a Heisman winning QB. His TEAM won it, not the QB.

It’s obviously Joe Greene. Any other answer is absurd! He made grown men cry! If you don’t say him its because you hate the steelers and our super jealous of our NFL leading 6 shiny lombardi’s! And you know it haters!

What creates quandries like this, of course, is the fact that until the 1980s virtually every D-Lineman in the league wore a number between 60 and 79. As did practically every O-Lineman with the exception of some centers. The practice of NFL D-Linemen wearing 90s numbers is relatively new.

If Deacon, Mean Joe or Howie had worn 95 instead of 75, it wouldn’t even be a discussion. Any of them would win hands-down.

Extremely tough call. You can make a legitimate case for most of them. But in a career which included pretty much an entire team of HOFers, Lombardi said Gregg was the greatest player he ever coached. Good enough for me.

Offensive linemen sharpened the snaps on their helmets to counter a Deacon Jones headslap. Howie Long could take a guard off his feet with one arm. Mean Joe Green was called “Mean Joe”. Every player on that list deserves to be there. Picking one over another is pointless.

This is the best list created yet. It is hard to list who was number 1-my guess they all are. Deacon Jones was unbelieveable yet Forrest Gregg held his own against him to protect Bart Starr’s blind side. Joe Greene is the greatest Steeler of them all. The list goes on with memorable feats from all of them. One thing about Deacon-he played the game as a professional. Several times he had clear shots in games against Johnny Unitas and Starr after the ball was released and did not slam them to the ground. Players adnired him.
